Matthew Roberts has been into art since childhood. Growing up on a steady diet of Godzilla movies, comic books, and parental support, he is still making art to this day. After attending RIT and graduating with a degree in Illustration Matt has been as involved with the art scene of Rochester as much as time allows. Currently Matt volunteers for 1975 gallery, helps run the Dudes Night Out art collective, and helps move every object to big for anyone else to do by themselves.

Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, Joe Guy Allard chased his heart to Western New York in his mid-twenties and has made it his home ever since.

Building on his background in graphic arts, Joe Guy picked up a brush and started painting by—poorly—imitating his biggest influences from the pages of art magazines. Over a decade later, he now uses his own signature approach and color palette to create pieces which have been displayed in businesses, galleries and homes in both U.S. & Canada. Inspired by his memories of Saturday-morning cartoons and his life-long love of terrible horror movies, he creates artwork that is at once grim, awkward and curiously adorable. The artist’s use of bright colors and bold lines combined with an often ominous narrative is a conscious attempt to find the line between the fantastic and the horrific.

Joe Guy lives in Rochester, NY with his wife, two daughters, two dogs and two cats.
